Ocean

Ocean

An Ocean is technically more of a sea in Minecraft, since the expanses of water aren't always very large (it depends on how your World Seed turns out), but are nonetheless the largest bodies of pure Water in the game.

Oceans hold Squid and allow you to Fish using the Fishing Rod. They are also your first source of Water. If you are willing to go diving, you may also find Clay and Sand on the Ocean floor.

Ocean biomes are sometimes used for "Survival Island"-type custom maps (a map made specifically for the player to survive, usually with little to no supplies other than a tree) due their islands' isolation from the mainland.
